Why are some silk quilts so cheap? What are they made of?

Silk has always been expensive in our minds, but the prices on the market are baffling, ranging from tens to hundreds. Some silk quilts are as little as $19 a bed, not a kilo. It makes people wonder why the price of silk quilts is so low?

The first thing you can be sure of is that these cheap silk quilts are either adulterated or inferior silk.
Cheap is not good; one price is worth a penny; this is the constant truth. Very cheap silk quilt, only likely to be adulterated quilt, or even quilt core without real silk, completely fake. Fake silk quilt, generally using chemical fibre silk impersonating silk, costs as little as a few dollars a pound, while a kilogram of real silk is at least about $ 70.

It can be seen 19 U.S. dollars of silk quilt can be very popular. First of all, the business with chemical fibre silk impersonation is still very substantial. Second, many consumers who have never used silk quilt spend dozens of dollars to buy back and do not know that it is fake.

In addition, silk has a high or low quality, different quality; the price gap is also huge.
Silk is divided into mulberry silk and tussah silk, and the price of tussah silk is much lower than mulberry silk. Many silk quilts use tussah silk as the filling, but they do not tell consumers that they are quilts made of tussah silk; they just say in a general and vague way that they are silk quilts and the price is lower, which makes people who do not know about silk quilts think that the price of silk quilts is very.
We usually say silk quilt refers to mulberry silk quilt, but even inside the mulberry silk, there are high and low quality, and the price is naturally lower.

Silk quilts are made from both long and short silk wool. Long silk wool is made from intact, high-quality cocoons. Short silk wool is made from secondary cocoons and scraps of material.
The quality of these two types of silk is very different; the price is very different, and quality filament silk is several times the price of short silk. When buying silk quilts, even if they are real silk, you need to distinguish between long and short silk.

To sum up, why is the price of some silk quilts so low? The main thing is that adulterated silk quilts and poor quality silk quilts are prevalent. Therefore, when buying, the cheap ones should not be considered.
